Presteigne Job Club

The Presteigne Job Club launches its 2017 programme on Tuesday 12th September. Started in 2016 the Presteigne Job Club courses and followup support sessions have, so far, helped and equipped five local people into either paid or voluntary work. The Job Club is an initiative of Christians Against Poverty (CAP). Here are some common questions and answers from the CAP website:

What is a CAP Job Club?Your local CAP Job Club is a friendly place where you will get practical help as you seek employment. It’s a relaxed environment with the chance to meet other jobseekers, get support and gain the tools you need to find work.How do I know a CAP Job Club is for me?Do you struggle to stay motivated when applying for jobs? Are you fed-up with not hearing back from applications? Would you like some guidance on how to make yourself stand out from the crowd?

If the answer is ‘yes’ to any of these, and you would like the support of a dedicated job club coach to help you find work, then a CAP Job Club is for you. Whether you’ve been unemployed for a short time, several years or you are yet to enter the world of work, we will help you to create a plan that works.

Does it cost anything?No. Our service is completely free. We are able to provide a totally free service because CAP is a charity and receives donations from churches and individuals who want to help people.

How will a CAP Job Club be different to other things I've been to?All of our CAP Job Clubs are run by trained volunteers who understand the challenges you are facing when looking for work, and who really want you to succeed. You will not only have group support but your CAP Job Club Coach will spend time helping you achieve your personal goals.

Is CAP just for Christians?No. CAP will help anyone regardless of their religious beliefs. We monitor our services to ensure that everybody receives the same caring service regardless of race, nationality, religion, age, gender, marital status, sexual orientation, or disability.
